Our Practice
Founded in 1976 Stirchley Medical Practice was considered to be located in the heart of the local community where it has continued to remain. In 2019 our practice expanded, merging with Sutton Hill Medical Practice. Determined by our locality, today we are active members of the Southeast Telford Primary Care Network.
Covering two sites we have a large primary care team consisting of GPs, ANPs, UCPs, Nurses, pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, social prescribers and a first contact physiotherapist who serve our population of 25,000 patients.
For the past 30 years we are proud to have been a training practice and have been affiliated with Keele University since the early 2000s, training GPs. We also have a close working relationship with Wolverhampton University supporting student nurses and nursing associates.
Green Statement
As part of our ongoing commitment to provide environmentally sustainable healthcare we have introduced a ‘think before you print’ slogan. These can be seen above the main photocopiers in the practices. We have replaced paper copies of rotas with digital versions, and we encourage clinicians to send information to patients electronically rather than in paper format.
We have introduced a recycling facility for our plastic waste at both sites which will reduce our carbon footprint and in 2025 we have also introduced ‘No Mow May’ an initiative that encourages landowners to refrain from mowing their lawns to support pollinators. This has been very successful at our Stirchley site where the area can be seen from our staff carpark.
